EpikHellSword's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rate My Fit]

The animation is so smooth! The story is short and sweet and the music is very complementary to it.

[Goku VS Vegeta]

Classic DBZ battle. I like how you didn't use the trope of the strikes being so fast the audience can't see them. However I do wish it was longer (yes I read the description). The tone just abruptly stops and I know this is unfinished but that still takes away some points. Also the sound for voice and sound effects are night and day when it comes to their balancing. The sound effects are too loud and Vegeta's voice is much louder than Goku's leading me to pay much more attention to Vegeta.

[Hot Dog Gets Shot and Dies]

I like the music and the sauce as the gun bullets. The transitions are endearing The only critique I have is that this seems more of an experimental than a comedy.

The visuals are cute at best and there is nothing to juxtapose the sad music unless you want to argue 16 seconds in. However there wasn't any setup to the joke if that is the case. If anything it seems like the music was put in to complement the animation. Which would be fine if you were trying for a sad story but it doesn't seem like you are.

[Goku Super Saiyan 3]

Looks like a good start with high quality animation. I would just say the environment is missing. And the arm anatomy-most notably where Goku hits Buu with a left hook looks awkward.

Takogui responds:

thanks! I'm still studying this anatomy stuff, so don't expect too much

[Aether Fount: Pilot Episode]

That's an interesting style you went for. I like how unique it is. The voice acting was great and the designs are incredibly detailed. I see many animation styles just in the first 2 minutes. And it looks like the story is well thought out.

[Next Stop]

The animation looks absolutely stunning. I don't think there is much going on but this was really well done with complementary music for the calm tone.

[Gothie: Secret Santa]

Fluid animation. I wonder why Gothie's facial expression changed when they mentioned Gim though. Does she like him? Does he hate him? The context is missing since we don't know who or what Gim is attracted to. This leaves a mystery in this short animation.

[Winter Contingency (Halo Reach Animatic)]

Pretty cool animatic. You got the tone down nicely and the story was clear. Is this original audio or from the game though?

Cave-Art responds:

Yep the audio is from the cutscene its based on

[December 2023 Demo Reel]

This is some fluid animation. Very surreal. I see lots of various styles as well. I can't wait until you add some more sound effects and music to the other animations.

[Aiaiai, I'm your little butterfly]

I see some good effort put in to make it look aesthetically pleasing and conveying the emotions. I like the Butterfly song by Smile. I was just listening to this song yesterday! But that ear rape did not do it for me and overall the audio balancing needs work.
